Chapter 207: The Black Cloud Suppresses the City and the City Gets Stronger
In the barracks, the guards are heavily guarded, and patrols pass by from time to time.
When the patrolling soldiers pass by a tent in the northwest corner, they will subconsciously avoid it, and the farther away the better. Even if they are used to seeing life and death, it still makes them shudder here.
That terrible roar is not a human voice at all, and the demons of hell are not so terrifying. Fear, resentment, pain, sorrow...... All the negativity is tangled together, and it makes people shudder to hear.
Suddenly!
The tent was opened, and out of it came a tall and thin man, he was extremely tall, almost in his early nineties, with a slender donkey face, a long hooked nose, and a pair of golden eyes, constantly turning back and forth, if you looked closely, you could see that his eyes were all staring at the fatal part of the human body, as if he was thinking about how to torture more enjoyable!
From the inside to the outside, it is full of gloom and terror, and it looks like no one is close. This guy's name is Yan Shuqin, and the world has long forgotten this name, they only remember a chilling nickname...... "Lord Yama".
He is the head of the 100 households in Dongchang, and he has been torturing people for decades, no matter how tough the man is, everything in his hands is the same as noodles.
Zhang Ke guessed that many people would be involved in Shuotuo's case, so he borrowed "Lord Yama" to help.
"Master Zhang!"
"Brother Yan, is there any result?"
"Boom, small shot, I haven't been able to ask yet! Tartar is known as a warrior, and that's all the same thing, so he abolished all six of his toes! ”
Speaking easily, Ma Biao was a little curious, entered the tent and took a look, and immediately turned his head and vomited, eager to spit out all his guts.
What did he see!
A man's toes were lifted with ropes, and black bamboo sticks were inserted into them, and the toe caps were gone, leaving only a piece of blood and bare white bones.
As the saying goes, ten fingers connect the heart, and the pain can be imagined.
Yan Shuqin smiled proudly: "My lord, there are too many useless means for the small ones, such as cramping, peeling, deboning, cutting off the prisoner's flesh, and chopping it into dumpling filling in front of him......"
"That's it!"
Zhang Ke was about to vomit if he continued to say more, so he hurriedly asked, "Brother Yan, I just need the result, what do I ask?" ”
"My lord, the captive has confessed, and the leader of the troops is the three Bel Mang Gurtai, and he has brought about two thousand five hundred soldiers."
"More than 2,000 people!"
Zhang Ke's heart is heavy, Mang Gurtai is a fierce general, and the strongest firecrackers under Zhang Ke are less than six hundred, plus the eldest brother's subordinates, the two sides are almost one-to-one troops, and it is difficult to say whether they will win or lose!
"My lord, the captives also said that not only Mang Gurtai, but also the Mongolian fried flower department will also send troops, Mang Gurtai is waiting for them, as for how many Tartars there will be, the captives are not clear."
Yan Shuqin gasped for breath when he spoke, almost making Zhang Ke flash his waist!
"Master Zhang, are you okay, are you sure?"
"Yes!" Zhang Ke replied.
"Adult, how do you see the sweat on your forehead?"
"Lao Tzu is in good spirits!" Zhang Ke gritted his back molars and said, "Brother Yan, Wang Hong has also been handed over to you, be sure to knock his mouth open, but ...... I don't want him to get hurt! ”
Yan Shuqin was dumbfounded: "My lord, how can you torture if you are not injured?" ”
"That's your business, in short, don't weaken the name of the Living Hades of the East Factory!"
Master Zhang is really going to have a problem, Yan Shuqin can only give up his hand and say: "Don't worry, adults, it's all over to the small ones." ”
On the vast grassland, thousands of horses galloped, and the sound was like thunder, spreading far and wide. Groups of Mongol cavalry gathered together, followed by their Taiji, and gradually merged into a huge ocean.
The tumbling crowd is endless, and the heads are like the barren grass of the grassland, countless.
"My mother, how can there be so many?"
Yu Qing muttered to himself, he felt fear from head to toe for the first time. Judging from the banners, the Mongol Tatars alone have at least sixteen or seven thousand troops, with more than 10,000 troops!
And more Tartars gathered, and the number of them snowballed in size.
Tens of thousands of cavalry, what a terrifying force!
"Let's go, go and report to your lordship."
More and more news gathered into Zhang Ke's hands, Wang Huazhen and Zhang Feng all gathered in the Zhongjun tent, and the three of them were all worried.
Zhang Feng took the lead and said: "Second brother, in five days, we have fought with the Tartars more than ten times at night, and sacrificed eight people. According to the information gathered, the Mongolian fried flower department dispatched more than 25,000 cavalry this time, and the number of people exceeded 30,000 with the Uliangha department. Counting the men and horses of Mang Gurtai, I am afraid that a vicious battle cannot be avoided! ”
Although Zhang Feng was a militant, the difference was almost ten times, which also made him feel powerless. Wang Huazhen, as a civil official, has an even more ugly face.
"Yongzhen, I have a few words, I don't know if to say it?"
"Shibo, please speak!"
"Well, you see that we haven't reported the matter of capturing An'er, can you release him and let the Mongols retreat!" Wang Huazhen also felt a little embarrassed, but other than that, he couldn't think of any other way.
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Feng actually nodded.
"Second brother, don't you have friends in Mongolia, can you persuade them to withdraw from the army, we are not afraid, yes, yes...... You know! Zhang Feng actually held back such a sentence, Zhang Ke almost laughed,
"Shibo, eldest brother, it's only been seven days since we captured An'er. If it was because of the capture of An'er and the Mongols raised troops, would the time be too short? ”
"Yeong-jeong, what do you mean?"
Zhang Ke smiled bitterly: "The only explanation is that Jiannu and the Mongols colluded together, and they have long had the heart to join the army!" ”
"What then?" Wang Huazhen was really scared, and said in a trembling tone: "The strength of the fried flower department is strong, and there are about 100,000 people who control the strings. How many men and horses do I have in Guangning, should I immediately ask for help from the capital and Liaoyang, and let them send troops! ”
"Asking for help is certain, but with the virtue of the imperial court, reinforcements will not come if they are not more than a month. Until then, we have to hold on! ”
"Yongzhen is right!"
Wang Huazhen stood up angrily and said, "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." Yongzhen, 100,000 people of Quang Ninh will be handed over to you. If there is any need, I will fully cooperate! ”
The three of them quickly agreed on their opinions, and intense combat readiness began.
First count the men and horses of Guangning, Wu Boyan brought 1,500 people from Yizhou, all of them were in place, plus Zhang Ke's subordinates, Yizhou soldiers were almost 2,000 people, and Zhang Feng's subordinates had more than 1,600 people, including half of the horse infantry.
In addition to them, Quang Ninh also had a group of men and horses that were the subordinates of Sun Degong, the guerrilla of the left battalion. Speaking of which, Zhang Ke is still a little taboo about this person, after all, he knows that he took refuge in Tartar in history, but now he has to use it when he is employing people.
"Tartar into the Kou, I must be united in Guangning, General Sun, do you have any opinions?"
"Nope!" Sun Degong patted his chest and said loudly: "Lord Zhang, you have led the troops well, and the last general will admire you, it is Sun's honor to be able to fight side by side with Lord Zhang!" ”
Sun Degong has almost 3,000 men, although it is not as good as the Yizhou soldiers, but the number is still okay.
In addition to unifying the people, the more important thing is to clear the wilderness.
According to past experience, the small castle and the small village could not resist it at all, and it had to be merged into the big castle city. And this time it is even more dangerous, because of Mang Gurtai's participation, the big fort may not be insured. On the contrary, hoarding a large amount of manpower and financial resources will attract more covetousness.
The solution given by Zhang Ke is to withdraw, withdraw, withdraw!
Outside of Guangning, only Baituchangguan, Zhenjingbao, Mashi, Zhenyuanbao, and Zhong'an Fort are retained, and the rest of the places are all incorporated in.
Both the Jiannu and the Tartars did not bring food and wages, and they fed the war with war. Therefore, Zhang Ke made a special request that the grain must be withdrawn, if it can't be removed, it will be burned by fire, and a grain of grain must not be left for the tartars!
These actions can only be regarded as ordinary, and Zhang Ke also made an even more unexpected move, he asked the soldiers to pile thousands of heads at the crossroads.
The crowd became a mountain, and all of a sudden the people of Quang Ninh became a sensation, helping the old and the young, and all came to see the excitement. Zhang Ke came to Mr. Storyteller and talked about the victory of the ambush battle, and the people listened to it as if they were drunk and fascinated.
At this time, Zhang Ke appeared in the middle of everyone, dressed in military uniform.
"Folks, tell you the news that there are 100,000 Tartars preparing to attack Quang Ninh!"
As soon as Zhang Ke opened his mouth, Wang Huazhen almost fell down, and everyone said less, for fear of scaring the people, how could Zhang Ke believe it, he was so anxious that he was sweating.
Zhang Ke was still thinking to himself: "It won't be long before they will kill in front of them, 100,000 people!" Wherever they pass, locusts must have crossed the border, leaving no grass behind!
The people were suddenly stunned with fright, their legs were weak, what should I do, hurry up and run for my life, but where to escape?
The buzz in the crowd grew louder and louder, and fear spread like a plague.
Suddenly, someone said: "Folks, seeing those heads, the adults have killed so many Tartars, and another 100,000 people, there are adults here, and we are not afraid!" ”
With such a reminder, the people seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and many elderly people knelt on the ground and cried: "Lord Zhang, can you ignore us and save the villagers!" ”
"yes, yes, it's just for you!"
Zhang Ke hurriedly surrendered his hand and said generously: "Folks, it is our mission to kill the enemy and defend the country, as long as everyone obeys the arrangement, we will twist into a rope, and we are not afraid of how many tartars come!" ”
The common people pinned their hopes on Zhang Ke, and Zhang Ke also struck while the iron was hot, and incorporated all households in Guangning City into the Minzhuang team, and some people contributed money and money. Each team also arranges a trainer, who is a young and enthusiastic student of Quang Ninh.
Zhang Ke promised that as long as he did well, he would play to the imperial court, and the road to the imperial examination would be given the green light in the future, and the students would suddenly be full of enthusiasm, even if it was for the imperial examination, they would have to work hard.
After Zhang Ke's arrangement, Guangning City instantly turned into a large barracks, and every household entered a state of war preparation. The black clouds overwhelmed the city, and instead of collapsing, the people became stronger and their morale was high!
Zhang Ke knew that this was not enough, so he immediately organized soldiers and civilians to build fortifications outside the city.
"If you have the ability, come on, Lao Tzu wants to turn Guan Ning into your grave!" r1152
